I thought I'd be clever and get mine chipped but I fried it and in frustration I threw it to the floor and jumped on it it, poor thing was mashed

I remember these. I think the GS5 was the last detachable battery Samsung made, right? I kind of miss my GS4. I remember when they were touting the gimmicks like waving your hand to answer a phone call as if anyone would use that. I did once. It was stupid.

My college roommate had a GS3. Honestly I can remember when 720p on a phone was badass. Now we're up to QHD and OnePlus keeps getting hammered for sticking to FHD. Honestly, on a 5.5 inch display, I can't tell the difference.

I remember the GS4 pretty fondly. But that got ruined when my drunk brother pushed me into the pool. I still have my Motorola Electrify (Photon 4G) from 2011 tho. 960 x 540. Gingerbread. That phone never got an ICS release and I was so disappointed. 

I miss the way old phones were made because the hardware can far outlive the battery. There's a way to do it on the OnePlus One but it has the potential for danger and finding a good replacement is something of a challenge because this was never a mainstream device. :/

Fortunately, after a wipe, my battery can go a day and some change again. Think AccuBattery says I'm at 84% of my original battery life. Its like 2700/3100 mAh now. But yeah, the GS3 and GS4 were pretty much unkillable in that you can always find a replacement battery. So its no surprise you still use one.

When I got my S3, it already had a bloated battery, so it would discharge from 100% after like, what? A few minutes of watching videos and browsing? D:

But, yeah, got a replacement, and it's basically like resurrecting the dead. Smartphones with detachable batteries are definitely the bomb (not that kind of bomb like the Note 7).

All them phones with the aluminum backs, 1.69 mm thicc frames, and non-removable battles.

My old laptop had a bloated cell. I just recycled the battery. But yeah, it was five years old with 8+ hours of daily use on it. It would go about 20 minutes on a full charge when I decided to do away with it.

Thermal runaway on your S7?

Try 150A

Idk if you watch Thunderf00t but he did a video about this kind of thing. They're talking about this battery that can hold ten times the charge. But if that kind of energy can't be properly contained, the energy density would be similar to dynamite. Crazy thing. And battery fires don't go out easily, as I'm sure you know.

I love it when you listen to a song on youtube and then it recommends to you some song that you didn't hear for years
